Back in Town [1x1][juliallxmidnighttrain]

[juliall]

Taylor smiled, going out to her father's boat shed, going inside, walking over to her. "Here she is" Taylor said with a smile.

"I know, Lexi" he said with a sigh, her fingers runnign through his hair.

[saige.]

Parker smiled and practically skipped over to his boat. He 'hugged' the boat, "Ah I've missed you girl! I can't wait to take you back out on the water!"

~

Lexi looked down at her feet for a moment, "I-I know you just got back, but...it might be best for you to go. Markus could come back any moment and I need to let him know that you're back."

[juliall]

Taylor smiled. "Want to go out now?" she asked with a large smile.

Derek looked to her a bit shocked. "Uh...yeah. Call me" he said before walking off a tear in his eyes.

[saige.]

Parker looked over at Taylor and smiled, "Dear God yes!" and he excitedly wrapped his arms around her to spin her momentarily before setting her down. "So what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

~

Lexi took in a shaky breath, trying to fight back the tears as she walked back inside. Shawn frowned and he too, started to cry. She held her son close and closed her eyes, "I'm so sorry, Sweetie..."

[juliall]

Taylor smiled pullng the boat out with him. Sighing as she saw her fiance walk up. "Hello, James" she said simply.

Derek went home, up to his room, wanting to cry. IF he hadn't have had to work the two extra years, he could have been the lucky one to marry her.

[saige.]

Parker's smile soon faded once he saw Taylor's fiance walk up to them, "So you're the lucky guy? Nice to meet you, my name is Parker. I"m an old friend of Taylor's."

~

Lexi walked into her room with Shawn still in her arms and laid down on the bed. She held her son close and let the stream of tears begin to fall. Shawn wanted to comfort his mother, but he wasn't really sure what was going on, so there wasn't much he could do.

[juliall]

"Nice to meet you, Parker" James said softly, quickly kissing Taylor on the lips pulling her close for moment before pulling away and waling off. Taylor had not wanted to kiss thim, she spit in the ground wiping her moutth.

Derek sighed, getting some comfier clothes on waiting for his parents to get home

[saige.]

Parker looked at her curiously, "Can't you just run away from all of this?" he asked. If she hated the guy so much, why not?

~

"I'm sorry you can't be with your Daddy all the time, Shawn." Lexi apologized. Shawn shook his head, "It's okay, Mommy. Daddy will come and visit us."

[juliall]

"I wish" Taylor said quietly. She sighed, pulling the boat out, smiling as she did

Derek cursed to himself, over and over. Everything was his fault, everything.

[saige.]

"Well that's what the old girl is for. She is our escape route." Parker said with a wink and helped Taylor pull out his boat.

~

Just then, the door opened and Markus walked in. He was worried about Lexi and why she was crying. After explaining everything, her husband was silent and he just walked out of her room and out of the house. With fury raging in his mind, he stormed off towards Derek's house.
